The
new Monitor Audio compact Radius 90 (just 7.5 ” in height) has been
primarily designed as a satellite for use in a multi-channel audio or
video system. Combined with the Radius 360, the Radius 90 forms a
system with clarity and dynamics. The Radius 90 can also be used on its
own as a secondary system in a bedroom or dorm room etc. The die-cast
metal wall bracket supplied has a very shallow profile and holds the
Radius 90 close to the wall with a neat appearance. Full pivoting of
the bracket allows the speaker to be directed towards the listening
area. Supplied with both black and silver interchangeable grilles, the
Radius 90 can be customized to suit a particular décor or individual
taste requirements. The Radius 90 has a -3db response down to 75 Hz, so
compatibility with most surround receivers is assured. The Beech and
Rosemah real wood veneer and Gloss Black and Video Silver lacquer
finishes are crafted to the same exacting standards as Monitor Audio’s
reference speaker systems. Its SRP is $199.00 each.

The Radius 180 is a versatile package that can be used as a center
channel as part of a multi-channel audio/video system, or as a main
speaker. The Radius 180 can be used vertically or horizontally and due
to the very shallow depth ( 3.75 inch) it is good for use with Plasma
T.V.s or in places where space is at a premium. The Radius 180 can be
used on its own as a main speaker system and has enhanced bass
performance over the Radius 90, mainly due to the larger ported cabinet
design. The die-cast metal wall bracket supplied has a very shallow
profile and holds the Radius 180 close to the wall. Full pivoting of
the bracket allows the speaker to be directed towards the listening
area. Supplied with both black and silver interchangeable grilles, the
Radius 180 comes in real wood Beech and Rosemah veneers and Gloss black
and Video Silver lacquer finishes with an SRP of $229.00 each.

The
Monitor Audio Radius 360 is very compact sub-woofer with a powerfully
built 100-Watt RMS amplifier. The Radius 360 offers discreet aesthetics
and due to the downward firing bass driver and sealed box design, it
can be positioned almost anywhere in the room. The Radius 360 can be
used with any of the Radius satellite or main speaker packages and due
to its control settings it will also be compatible with most other
speaker packages. The many functions and controls help the system to be
‘tweaked’ in order to gain the best possible performance in the desired
position of operation. Speaker level connections are provided to
facilitate operation with satellite speakers in a two channel audio
system, or where no RCA outputs are provided on the amplifier. Speaker
outputs have a built-in passive high pass filter to provide increased
power handling of the satellite/ main speaker system. RCA stereo inputs
and LFE input are also provided for connection to a stereo amplifier,
or a dedicated home cinema receiver amplifier. The auto on-off function
allows the Radius 360 to be automatically switched on when an input
signal is received, and then switched off after a time period when no
input signal is detected. An additional Movies/Music switch allows the
listener to select the 360 for primary use, however this feature can
also be used to help room positioning where more (or less) bass impact
may be desirable. Constructed from 19mm MDF throughout, the Radius 360
subwoofer is solid and reassuringly heavy and is available in both the
Gloss Black and Video Silver lacquer finishes as well as Rosemah and
Beech veneers. Its SRP is $549.00.
